Exactly, it's doing well among all the heavy hitters. Now where's Battlefield?
Being beat by Dying light a mostly single player game isn't good. Nor is that its just ahead of a game that game out in 2015. Halo has much wider reach, and should be beating most if not be the most played. But Still warzone is beating it. I don't expect it to beat something like fortnite or roblox. But warzone for the most part has been on the decline with streamers being the main people keeping it alive.
Once Modern warfare 2 releases Halo's days will be numbered in terms of mass player count. So getting content out to keep numbers high or more active across all platforms is a must.
I actually laughed at Dr. Disrespect when he said Halo needs a BR mode. I feel big team battle can be that, but its taken too long for getting that finally fixed. On top of there not being more than 2 maps for it. Big team battle could be re-tooled to be a BR.
I just think 343 has had such a shit time with project management and tools because of their engine woes that its hindering their production in major ways. And thats on Microsoft in how they have let 343 go the way they have for multiple projects.
Who was the competition in 2007 though?
um..... Gears of war MP, Call of Duty Modern warfare literally the biggest game. on top of rainbow six vegas which was huge, and Ghost recon.
Halo had a shit ton of competition back then. They have a good amount, but nothing like they had in 2007. No one expects halo to beat games like Apex or Fortnite, unless MS does? If so then they overshot by fuck ton.
